Ingredients

1½ pounds shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium high heat, or about 335 degrees F.
Place wooden skewers in a shallow baking dish and cover with water. Soak for at least 1 hour so the sticks don't burn while the chicken cooks.
Meanwhile, prepare thawed shrimp by peeling and deveining. Thread the raw shrimp and sausage slices onto the soaked kabob sticks, alternating and leaving a little space between each so they will cook evenly.
Place kabobs on the preheated grill. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then turn over. Brush with the melted butter and cook for another 2 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: remove shrimp and sausage from the kabobs and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Enjoy cold as an appetizer, snack, or over a salad.
